Tom Cruisecrushed rumors that he is ditching Scientology by making an appearance as a guest of honor at an event for the controversial sect on October 20 and even wore his Freedom Medal of Valor that he was awarded by the religion.

The actor, 50, has been devoted to the church for 25-years but recent reports have suggested he had crisis of faith since his divorce from Katie Holmesand had decided to cut ties with the religion.

Cruise took time off from shooting his movie All You Need Is Kill to attend the 28th Anniversary Patrons Ball for the International Association of Scientologists at the church’s UK headquarters at Saint Hill Manor near Gatwick.

The secretive convention was chaired by leader David Miscavige, who has called Cruise “the most dedicated Scientologist I know”.

“Tom seemed delighted that there were so many well-wishers,” said the insider. “It was his first major public appearance at a church event since his divorce and it seemed pretty clear that he hasn’t left the religion.”
